is an album by Ruben and the Jets, and the debut of musician Rubén Guevara Jr.'s new lineup, after the group name had previously been used as an alias of The Mothers of Invention in 1968.

[1] During a recording session, engineer Richard Kunc and the Mothers of Invention discussed their high school days and love for doo-wop songs.

Ray Collins and some of the other members of the band started singing and performing the songs, and Frank Zappa suggested that they record an album of doo wop music.

[3] Collins later left the Mothers of Invention, and Zappa began working on a project entitled No Commercial Potential, which included doo-wop[3] and experimental pop songs[4] which were later reconstituted into a concept album called Cruising with Ruben & the Jets (1968).

[3] Although the recordings generally tried faithfully to reproduce the sound of 1950s doo wop and rock and roll,[3] the arrangements included quotes from Igor Stravinsky pieces and unusual chord changes and tempos.
